VerticaL windLasses – Vr/VrcVertical windlass models have a main vertical shaft and horizontal gypsy, and are available in two configurations. VRC has a gypsy and independent capstan, whilst the VR has gypsy and low profile top only. The low profile VR is available on models VR4000 through to VR 22000. The vertical configuration allows for single and twin installations with the advantage of installing the windlasses in various positions. This facilitates the positioning of anchor pipes and spurling pipes. In some cases it may be preferable to install windlasses closer to the centre line or further apart. Integral VR/VRC 4500, 6000, 8000, 11000 designs incorporate extended deck plates for the brake band location and integral chain pipe. The windlass and chain pipe are supplied as a complete assembly on one single base, either as single units or in mirror image. New range of round base units offer flexibility of installing separate chain pipes or chain pipe rollers. A feature of the round base models is the heavy duty chain stripper.Muir vertical windlass design innovation enables disassembly of the running gear above the deck plate and removal of the drive gear below deck leaving the deck plate and chain pipe/roller intact. All vertical windlasses have a self-aligning gearbox adaptor that reduces installation time and allows the gearbox and motor to be installed directly onto the windlass drive in any radial position. This alleviates distortion between the deck plate and gearbox flange and a sealed shaft protects the transmission below deck. Vertical windlasses require less deck space than a horizontal windlass and vertical capstans have operational advantages for mooring purposes due to the radial scope of the lead for mooring lines. For servicing and lubrication all running gear is readily accessible. Planetary drives are available on vertical models with AC and Hydraulic brake motors fitted, right angle drives are available for all installations throughout the ranges. AC motors require to be supported to the deck structure.Hydraulic drives are fitted with counter balance valves to prevent runback. Heavy-duty concealed dog clutch drives on larger models ensure positive drive at all times, hand wheels and brake bands to chain gypsies provide infinite control of braking. Windlasses with round base plates have installation flexibility of rotating brake band and hand wheel in any position.Up to 180° chain wrap on vertical designs ensures optimum utilisation of the chain gypsy pockets. Independent operation of the capstan and gypsy is achieved by declutching the capstan. The full range is available with an extended capstan shaft for split positioning of the gypsy below deck and capstan above deck for mooring and line hauling purposes.

HoriZontaL windLasses - Hr Horizontal windlasses have the main drive shaft with single or dual chain gypsies and capstans driving through a single gear drive. This drive mechanism is totally enclosed in the windlass casing above deck, which is an advantage when space below deck is at a premium. A horizontal windlass gypsy increases the height of fall of the chain into the chain locker where depth may be critical. Positioning of the gypsy and chain pipe requires the location of the horizontal windlass above the chain-locker and the lead from the bow roller or hawser pipe determines the location.Gypsy centres to windlass or vessel centre line can not be varied. All running gear can be serviced and lubricated without interfering with the windlass casing or chain pipes. Independent operation of capstan(s) and gypsies by declutching the drive. Operation of the horizontal capstan in the standing position for mooring and line handling can be advantageous. Horizontal windlass casings are cast marine grade aluminium alloy with white gloss enamel finish. All Muir horizontal windlasses have heavy-duty clutch drives with handwheel and brake bands to gypsies for infinite control of braking. A vertical capstan option on top of the windlass can facilitate mooring and line handling when horizontal capstans can not be fitted due to limited deck space.

VerticaL mooring and docKing caPstans - Vc Muir capstans provide reliable and heavy duty operation for mooring and docking. Usually located on the aft deck and amidships to assist in the mooring or docking of the yacht, they can be operated by remote control or foot switches for hands free operation. Capstans can be supplied with inline or 90° gear drives in hydraulic or electric power for the most compact installation. Capstans can be serviced with the deck plate intact from top and bottom side. Capstan selection should be considered with warping line sizes and flexibility of warp.

tecHnicaL information Muir has adopted the corporate policy of manufacturing and selling products which have the recognised standard of quality that satisfies customers throughout the effective life span of the product. It is therefore an essential requirement of this stipulated policy for Muir to produce and supply its customers with products which are suitable for their intended purpose, and which are in conformity with the relevant and agreed specification or contract. The procedures outlined in our ISO9001/2010 quality assurance manual describe how the quality system is designed to ensure that customer requirements are recognised and that consistent control of these requirements is established, implemented and maintained. Strict adherence to the policy stated above is a requirement of every aspect at Muir. 3d and autocad drawings are available as digital files. Standard builds are bronze with chromed finish and knurled capstans. Fluted capstans are optional.Chrome plating with a minimum of 35 microns is specified for manufacture. Running gear is bronze, aluminium bronze or 316L stainless steel and the main drive shaft, brake spindle, handwheels and fastenings are stainless steel. On vertical models motor drives and gears below deck are finished in white gloss. Horizontal models have the motor and gearbox enclosed above deck.Brake design on some models may not require use of chain stoppers or where distance between spurling pipe and gypsy is tight, however a heavy duty devil claw and snubber line arrangement must be used to eliminate loads off the windlass drive.Heaters and thermistors are supplied standard on AC motors above 5.5kW.Chain Gypsies are available to suit ISO, DIN 766 and Studlink marine chains. Custom designed windlasses for specialised installations can be supplied on request. On placing an order we require a chain sample, including joining links and kenter shackles (if they are to be accommodated), so they can be matched to the chain gypsy and ensure correct fit. Larger windlasses are mainly manufactured from stainless steel in polished or satin finishes.
imPortant: Kw Power requirements: Power may be increased if required for special applications, pulls are indicated using motor kW sizes as in the catalogue specification.On both windlasses and capstans it is advisable to maximise KW power on electric drives to optimise functionality, and to prevent the circuit breaker tripping under heavy load.KW power requirements - may vary between planetary worm and gear drives. starting loads: the design of the preferred starting system is important, and it should be noted that the vessels generating capacity and requirements should be able to start the windlasses under load. mooring capstans: Selection and sizing needs to consider high profile, large or heavy displacement craft and high wind conditions to be encountered while docking.model numbers: Product model numbers are not necessarily indicative of the lift capacity.
cLassification Performance and aPProVaL: Classification Societies require a minimum speed of 9 metres/minute and Muir designs can be supplied with optional two-speed AC electric systems or variable speed drives (VFD’s) for variable speed ranges generally up to 20 metres/minute in high speed. Muir build to specific classification society requirements including ABS, LRS, DNV, NKK, BV, GL, K.R, RINA, RRR, RMSR and CCS. All Muir equipment meets international standards including MCA and USL codes and CE Requirements for electrical components.Muir recommend the windlass should have the capacity (pull) to retrieve all of the anchor and chain in a vertical lift with the anchor clear of the bottom.
We strongly recommend contacting your local Muir agent or Muir head office regarding specific classification requirements prior to selecting a windlass or mooring capstan model.

Mega Yacht anchoring SYSteMS
Positioning of anchor windlass and chain locker The chain pipe or spurling pipe should be positioned to allow the anchor chain to drop into the centre of the chain locker, to centralise the spread proportionally and minimise piling up.When the anchor chain falls too far away from the centre of the chain locker or too close to a partition or bulkhead, the chain will not fall or pile evenly. Chain will actually climb up a partition or pile up if it drops close to the partition or bulkhead.A chain locker being too small in volume or with a floor having insufficient height clearance from the underside of the deck or end of the spurling pipe extension, can limit the available height for the chain to pile up.When the chain can pile up to touch the lower end of the spurling pipe, the chain will likely cause a jam up into the vicinity of the chain pipe and chain stripper above deck.In shallow draft sail and motor yachts including planing hulls and semi displacement hulls, particular attention should be made to the installation of the anchor windlass and associated components to maximise the working depth of the chain locker. Right angle drive gears may have an advantage over inline drives in shallow or restricted chain lockers.The ideal chain locker will have a maximum depth over minimum floor area. Conversely some installations incorrectly have minimum depth and maximum floor area requiring the chain to be flaked by hand, or causing the chain to pile up and jam.As a guide, anchor chain will require a chain locker up to 3.5 X its compacted or flaked area or cube size. Example: chain packed tightly into a cubic metre container will require 3.5 cubic metres to enable the chain to fall and spread out evenly without piling up and getting close to the lower end of the spurling pipe on the underside of the deck.Spurling pipes inside diameter should be at least twice the diameter of the anchor chain or kenter shackle, or even larger. Spurling pipes should be as vertical as possible with minimum elbows, bends on the offsets to prevent excess friction. Keeping in mind that the lower end of the spurling pipe determines the working height of the chain locker.On vertical windlasses the optimum wrap angle of the chain around the gypsy is 180 degrees with the minimum wrap angle be no less than 145 degrees.On Horizontal windlasses the optimum wrap of chain is 180 degrees, however with anchors stowed forward on anchor rollers the minimum angle of wrap angles should be no less than 135 degrees. Alternatively a chain roller may be used to position the anchor chain closer to the deck to increase the wrap.Please refer to your Muir representative or direct to the Muir design office for any additional information.Note dispacement, length and windage of vessel must all be taken into consideration when selecting windlasses, anchor and chain. Refer to relevant classification society equipment number for class rules.

displacement, Length, type of Vessel (motor Boat or sail Yacht, Heavy or Light displacement etc) and windage of a vessel must be taken into consideration when selecting a windlass, anchor and chain. the particular classification societies equipment number for the particular vessel is also very important as it stipulates the recommended chain size (and length), anchor åeight and other important information than needs to be considered. in addition, the vessels proposed use is important as it will differ depending on the application (short cruising in sheltered waters to extensive global cruising with exposure to all types of anchoring conditions).

Muir introduce the new Inline drive capstan, delivering more power when you need it. This highly efficient and light weight capstan is fitted with a 1000w one piece integrated gearbox/motor assembly.
The one piece assembly significantly reduces installation time and is ideal for use where below deck space is restricted.
Designed to suit vessels up to 20m (67ft) the Inline capstan can be used for mooring, warping, anchoring, line hauling and fishing from any direction and are well suited to any application in either vertical or horzontal mounting positions.
Accommodating any deck thickness, this model is available in 24 V DC.

Chain stoppers are strongly recommended for safe anchoring to protect and remove load from the windlass when at anchor, and to prevent accidental free fall of the anchor while under way. The hinged pawl allows the chain to be pulled up automatically, and is easily disengaged to deploy the anchor. To suit all chain types up to 38mm (11⁄2”) with optional finishes in chromed bronze, traditional polished bronze, highly polished or bead blasted 316 stainless steel.
Following the same principal of the conventional chain stoppers we combine a separate devil claw, this unique arrangement offers additional safety. The devil claw hooks onto the chain and provides tension on the chain while the anchor is stowed ensuring additional hold while underway. The devil claw can be easily removed or simply secured off to the side. The combined set provided increased safety. Available to suit chain up to 19mm (3/4”), and finished in either chromed bronze, traditional polished bronze, highly polished or bead blasted 316L stainless steel.
